ON GOLDEN POND

I'm actually feeling just a little bit guilty about posting Geoff's snowy picture the other day. As he said in his comment -- and I added later -- Colorado weather is very changeable. It doesn't always snow on the plains in the Spring and when it does it melts quickly.

And Colorado is truly beautiful. I took these pictures the last time we visited in the Spring. We always go on beautiful drives and walks when we're there, but these three pictures were not taken on any special excursion -- we were within strolling distance of where the kids live.

So the main things to remember if you go to Colorado are: Dress in layers. And be prepared for anything. But always expect it to be beautiful. You won't be disappointed.

Blue skies with big fluffy clouds, snow-capped mountains, clean blue water, herons (is that what they are?) and an island with flowering trees. AND, close to the kiddos! What more could a person ask for? Well, maybe pie and coffee.

I lived in Colorado for nearly 50 years....and the Spring snows are quite damaging 'cause they're heavy and tend to leave chaos. Then, not to mention the snows that last for months in winter. [the snow remaining on the ground that is]
